Change of plans in regards to the Ghost Type Skin. For the same reason I've changed pokemon in the past, I just can't get a colour scheme working that suits the pokemon in the banner. In this case, Dusclops. It's a nasty green/yellow-grey with cream and red. The colours just don't sit well. The previous Ghost type skin was.. well.. luminous purple. But I imagine that's the colour that people are going to think of when it comes to ghosts. I'll see how it plays out, but i'll likely be changing the pokemon in question to Gengar or Haunter, depends which looks best in the banner.

Duskull won the poll didn't it? But anyway, I'm sure Gengar/Haunter will look good. Though I was looking forward to Duskull :<

Yes it did, but I stated in every single vote thread the following:

The final decision rests with me, but the only reason a pokemon wont be used is it the style just doesn't suit its colours

Gengar was 2nd, haunter was 3rd. I've done the banner, and It's going to be Gengar. There are already two greyish themes (Rock and Steel), but only one purple (Poison). I'll see how much of it I can get done tomorrow, so it should go live by the middle of next week. Then we'll be on the home straight with two of the hardest skin to get done (Normal and Water).

I'm also going to be making a new Discussion Thread soon to see what other skins members would be interested in having. So if you have ideas, or thoughts on what you'd like featured as skin, then keep an eye out for that.

If you don't mind me asking, what makes those 2 more difficult than any others?

I could've sworn there already was a thread like that a while ago, around the same time as the polls. Doesn't matter, and under no circumstance am I asking you to go search for it. I'll just post my ideas again. (Assuming I remember them, but most likely somebody will, if not me)

Water is the type that people ask about the most and complain about it not being available the most. Whilst I don't understand how people can want to use a type beore they know what it looks like, I want to make sure that it's the best I can make it before it goes live.

Normal is one of the favoured skins from the old set, because it had pokemon on it, but was also almost completely white. I want the new Normal theme to reflect that minimalist look, but making sure it's like that is going to be hard (and may force me to change pokemon again, depends on how it goes).

Initial thoughts, it seems pretty nicely done, this skin. Similar purples are different enough to not blend into one another and not hurt the eyes, and oes well with the text and options for editing posts, etc as well. Nice red thread reply buttons too. =)
